Interview Questions

Loon4ever
Hey all!
So as one of the two guys in my shop that knows PC-DMIS and have ran a CMM, not to mention the other guy has no interest in the CMM, our Forman has asked me to conduct the interview of a prospective CMM Programmer/Operator/Inspector. To give some back ground we are an Aero shop and the boss likes his LEAN manufacturing. So of course there's never enough time, or enough people so you're always getting asked to check a part while you're barley half way through the one you're already working on.
My question to you guys is, if you were hiring a CMM Programmer who is expected to also operate the CMM and preform Non CMM Inspections what would you go about asking them? What skills do you find to be the most valuable for a CMM Programmer/Operator to have? Anything I should look for as a red flag? Also any advice of things to look for or for conducting the interview would be greatly appreciated. I will not be alone with the prospective employee since this will be my first interview but I'll be the only one there with CMM experience.
Thanks in advance for any tips or tricks you guys can shoot my way!

  • Offline programming ? I would have a Cad ready to go and see how fast they could move thru a Manual and DCC alignment, and check a feature or 2 on multiple sides of the part. Without being overlay anal I could rip 1 out in a few minutes. Watching this process would tell you a fair amount in a big hurry.

    I think if you are wanting to hire a trained programmer, then this is a perfect thing to do. Get them on a CMM or an offline seat and see what they can do, how quick they can do it, and is it right what they have done. Nothing too fancy unless your products require something specific.

    If you are wanting someone who may become a programmer in the future then you need to look for IT skills, maybe G,D&T skills or at the least the willingness to learn them and organisation is always helpful.
